The big difference in prefix macro processing is that THE
runs them in the order they were entered, not top to bottom
as Xedit does.
I haven't done much with them, but another member of RexxLA
has overcome the difference. I could send you one of his
macros to use as a model, if you'd like.

Several years ago, I moved all my assembler code for my products from VM

compile my products which are linked and tested on z/VSE.
I have converted several of my prefix macros to be dual-mode. The same
source works in both VM and THE. There is one major prefix macro that
will not convert due to the way THE works because the macro has several
prefix's for the same macros and the EXTRACT/PENDING in THE does not
handle that condition correctly.

If you use THE for your own stuff, I'd like a direct email if you'd like
to exchange information.
Anyone using it to offload VM work to the pc, or considering doing so, I
have a wealth of macros to make it as much like Xedit as I can, while at
the same time taking advantage of the capabilities of a pc and no 3270
restrictions.
Tell us about your VM work on this thread, why you chose THE, or pose
questions that I, or others, might be able to help answer.
If you're familiar with Kedit, THE can mimic it quite well, *and* it
uses either ooRexx or Regina as its macro language.
I wasn't sure about posting this, but Dan assures me that as long as
it's VM related, it's welcome!
